According to him, he does not feel like 15 years have passed since he started his career. He added that he thinks more of himself as a rookie especially while working in Japan where he channeled most of his activities in the past years.

He was grateful, he said, for the opportunities he had in Japan. He was also happy for the warm welcome the staff in the country gave him there.

Still, Kim Jae Joong is not setting his fans in South Korea aside. In fact, the singer-actor is earnestly looking for opportunities to greet his local fans more often in 2019 and is positively considering a return to films after seven years since Jackal is Coming. However, nothing has been finalized yet as of press time.
